select(2): a minor man patch and a question
Hello,
DragonFly BSD has <sys/select.h> but "man select" specifies an older
synopsis. Here is a
patch to change this.
Index: src/lib/libc/sys/select.2

.Fn FD_SET fd &fdset
On a related note, a warning is issued when compiling a program that
uses FD_ZERO() because
bzero() is used under the hood and its prototype is not found.
I'm not sure what is the Right Thing to do:
1) Leave the warning. It is up to client code to include <string.h>
first (but this is not
specified in http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/select.html)
2) #include <string.h> in <sys/select.h> when building userland code.
3) copy bzero() prototype into <sys/select.h>
Thanks in advance,
Nicolas
